Interesting article about a haunting chord in David Willcocks' arrangement of "O Come, All Ye Faithful."
Even if you can't really hear what everyone's raving about, it's still an incredible Christmas hymn. And I like the analysis here that the descants in the "Sing, choirs of angels" verse were inspired by an older carol -- "Ding Dong Merrily on High."
